Diverse Resources of Canada Shown at Windsor Station. j Visualizing in a striking manner a larg« number of the diverse natural resources of Canada, the Canadian Pa- cific Railway has just opened to the public an exhibit at the Windsor street station. This exhibit, which is 1 situated in a room immediately ad- joining the main entrance to the sta- tion on Osborne street, ha.s been pre- pared by the collaboration of the Que- ! bee Government and the C.P.R. j One half comprises the Quebec ex- ' hibit, consisting of samples of the re- sources of the province â€" lumber, as- bestos, and other minerals, grain, maple .sugar, fur-bearing animals, such as the ermine, marten, mink, fox, ' and beaver, and fish and game birds. The C.P.R. exhibit has been gather- ed from the entire Dominion. A splen- did display of grains proiluced in the fertile fields of Western Canada is a special feature. Supplementing tliis â-  is a big collection of fruits, forestry products and minerals. .-V number of ' colored transparencies show the meth- â-  ods usetl in developing the forest re- sources of Canada, from the primary state to the finished product, such as ; wooden ships. Other transparencies illustrate .some of the summer resorts ; alo'i)^ the company's lines. Complete i am? recent statistics of all the coun- ; ti; "s resources add conviction to the U-splay.
